Commuting times for employees of a local company have a mean of 63.6minutes and a standard deviation of 3 minutes. What does Chebyshev'sTheorem say about the percentage of employees with commuting timesbetween 56.1 minutes and 71.1 minutes?At most 84% of the commuting times should fall between 56.1 minutes and 71.1minutes.Approximately 84% of the commuting times should fall between 56.1 minutesand 71.1 minutes.At least 84% of the commuting times should fall between 56.1 minutes and 71.1minutes.At least 99.7% of the commuting times should fall between 56.1 minutes and 71.1minutes.

Given, μ=63.6 minutesσ=3 minutes Let X denotes the commuting times for employees of a local company. Therefore X~Nμ=63.6,σ=3 Chebyshev's theorem is given as- Pμ-kσ<X<μ+kσ>1-1k2 Using the Chebyshev's theorem, the probability of employees with commuting time between 56.1 minutes and 71.1 minutes is obtained as- P56.1<X<71.1=P63.6-2.5×3<X<63.6+2.5×3>1-12.52>0.84 Therefore, the percentage of employees with commuting time between 56.1 minutes and 71.1 minutes is at least 0.84×100=84% Thus, Option C " At least 84% of the commuting times should fall between 56.1 minutes and 71.1 minutes." is the correct option.

Suppose that the quarterly sales levels among health care information systems companies are approximately normally distributed with a mean of 12 million dollars and a standard deviation of 1.3 million dollars. One health care information systems company considers a quarter a "failure" if its sales level that quarter is in the bottom 20% of all quarterly sales levels. Determine the sales level (in millions of dollars) that is the cutoff between quarters that are considered "failures" by that company and quarters that are not. Carry your intermediate computations to at least four decimal places. Round your answer to one decimal place. million dollars X S
Suppose that a recent article stated the mean time spent in jail by a first-time convicted burglar is 2.7 years. A study was then done to see if the mean time has increased in the new century. A random sample of 27 first-time convicted burglars in a recent year was picked. The mean length of time in jail from the survey was 3.01 with a standard deviation of 1.78 years. Assume that the distribution of jail times is approximately normal. Test the claim at the level of significance 0.1. Select one: a) t_stat = 0.9 and t_cr = 1.31 : The mean time increased significantly in the new century b) t_stat = 0.9 and t_cr = 1.31 : The mean time didn’t increase in the new century c) t_stat = 0.99 and t_cr = 1.71 : The mean time didn’t increase in the new century d) t_stat = 0.99 and t_cr = 1.71 : The mean time increased significantly in the new century

Consumer agencies claim that the mean lifespan of a dishwasher is 9.5 years. Your company manufacturers dishwasher and you have been asked to see if this claim is true. You randomly survey 20 households who have recently purchased a dishwasher and ask them how long their previous dishwashers lasted and you calculate a mean of 8.9 years with a standard deviation of 3.1. Is the consumer agency’s claim that a dishwasher lasts 9.5 year correct? What is the p-value for this claim? Consumer agencies claim that the mean lifespan of a dishwasher is 9.5 years.
